Here's Why We Suck - Young Mistakes
-
I'm an old guy & like an aging veteran NFL player, on my downside. I like these young players (like my Grandchildren)...They're on their upside & they have nowhere to look but up & forward. We, as Fans, need to be looking WITH them & supporting them in that upward journey.
The plan is right...TO the future, not IN the past. Better days are ahead.

I can recall early that Cody Parkey miss a few early in last season (especially the Miami game). Many thought he should've stayed and let Gonzales go. Rookie Kickers will make mistakes, you just have to live with it.
Parkey missed them when he showed up in Cleveland a day or two ahead of the first game he kicked in. Kicking is all about timing with the snapper and holder. Once he had the timing over the next week he was golden.
Gonzalez has worked with them for months. Inexcusable rookie or not in my book.

So you don't think there any Kickers that started out "not so good", but ended up having a good career? Give the kid a chance.

Ah yes... I can still hear that golden ringing when he hit the upright in Miami... twas lovely... one of three he missed that day. Vaguely remember him hitting the upright twice, but maynbe not. Anyway at the end of that day he'd missed three of the five he missed between 40-49 yd on the season.
Also seem to recall us passing up a FG try or four of 40+ during the season because we knew his limitations.
